"This release along with there other offerings, are a hard find nowadays. However if you are able to find this or the other releases, pick them up as you will not be disappointed. There are no lyrics in this, as the vocals are used as a instrument. This along with everything these guys do (did) is done flawlessly. There are not many (if any) bands like this one. All of there music is completely original and amazing."
Best Progressive Metal Album EVER.

"I have eclectic tastes, enjoying everything from ambient to metal. I bought this album on a lark and immediately found it to be the best example of melodic, manic progressive metal (death metal or not). Inventive, structured, intense, absurd, Dan Swano and the boys constructed the most brilliant album ever produced in metal. Time and tempo changes, schizophrenia, all within a tight structure that makes sense. The first time I heard it, my only reaction was, 'this is purely audacious'. People who know their instruments, know the form, dissected it and put it back together with the mastery of a classical composer. When the sax chorus breaks in for a little squiff of a line after the guitar crunch, you know you're in the madhouse of a genius. One of my top ten of all time, if you have an imagination, I cannot recommend it more highly."
